adrienne rich‘s words are an arrow to the truth of things. i read this entire book in one sitting & was completely enraptured — her imagery is so inspiring. that said, reading her work is a bit tainted for me because of her TERF affiliation 😮‍💨 so ➖⭐️

So fresh, 26 years on, it’s still so rare to read of the female experience, of female love, captured with such beauty and clarity.
